Military strategists, they say, are always prepared for the last war. Political strategists think they are more forward-looking. This year, believing that Dewey lost in 1948 because he did not make enough speeches, they have worked out punishing schedules for both candidates. On his Western tour, Stevenson made 21 speeches in eight days, and before it was over he was showing the strain. He made a well-received speech in Seattle favoring government development of resources not developed by private industry, then made his foreign-policy speech in San Francisco (see above).

Jews like to joke that when three of them get together, they are bound to produce four opinions. As of last week, Jewish leaders with deeply held and vastly differing opinions were involved in a dispute that went to the very heart of Jewry. At immediate issue was the relationship between the U.S.’s 5,500,000 Jews and the proud state of Israel (pop. 2,115,000). But even broader and greater was an old issue revolving around the meaning and purpose of Jewry.

All in the Family The audience one night last week at the Berkshire Festival had a special treat: Eleanor Roosevelt made her musical debut as the narrator in Prokofiev’s symphonic fable, Peter and the Wolf. The First Lady emeritus, who had arrived to rehearse only that morning, read her score (solo passages underlined in black ink, lines with orchestral accompaniment in red) with a mellow distinctness, never missed a cue. The audience called her back for five rousing curtain calls.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman postponed a planned four-day trip to Japan due to concerns over the king’s health, Japan’s top government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said. The trip set to start Monday was to have been the crown prince’s first visit to Japan since 2019. Hayashi said at a regular news briefing in Tokyo the two nations would reschedule the visit, without indicating when.   The kingdom’s de facto ruler was due to meet Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during the trip, according to Japan’s government.

Stanley Tucci recently told Entertainment Tonight that he would never play his role in “The Lovely Bones” again. The actor starred as the serial killer George Harvey in Peter Jackson’s divisive adaptation of Alice Sebold’s 2002 novel. Tucci earned an Oscar nomination in the supporting actor category for his performance, but ironically it was a role he tried to get out of before filming started. “I would not play George Harvey again in ‘The Lovely Bones,’ which was horrible,” Tucci said.
